'Livestream' is a word from English, made up of 'live' (in real time) and 'stream' (data stream). It was adopted directly into German and has the same meaning.
Das Konzert wird weltweit als Livestream übertragen.
The concert will be broadcast worldwide as a livestream.
Common verbs used with 'Livestream' (livestream) are `ansehen` (to watch), `verfolgen` (to follow), `starten` (to start), or `übertragen` (to broadcast). So you can both consume a livestream and produce one yourself.
Der Künstler startet jeden Freitag einen Livestream für seine Fans.
The artist starts a livestream for his fans every Friday.
To express that you see something in a live broadcast, you use the preposition 'in' with the dative: `im Livestream` (in the livestream). To describe the method of transmission, people often use `per Livestream` (via livestream).
Ich habe das Fußballspiel im Livestream gesehen.
I watched the football match in the livestream.
streaming
Streaming primarily refers to the form or process of continuous transmission, in which data can be played back immediately. A Livestream, by contrast, is a specific real-time broadcast of an event. Use Streaming when you mean the method of transmission, and Livestream when you mean the individual broadcast.
